Saleng inspires wasteful Pirates to narrow win over Maritzburg: Monnapule Saleng came to Orlando Pirates’ rescue once again, scoring his fifth league goal of the season to improve his team’s chances to at least finish second on the DStv Premiership log…
Saleng and Terrence Dzvukamanja’s goals in either half gave the Buccaneers a 2-1 victory over Maritzburg United in a game that should have had more goals if Pirates were not as wasteful as they were when it came to their final passes and their shots at goals.
The win moves Pirates to third position on the table with 31 points after 20 matches, still 24 points behind runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns who have played one match more. Pirates had all the ball but lack ideas on how to use it when they reached the final third where Phillip Ndlondlo, Thembinkosi Lorch and Saleng failed to find Dzvukamanja with the final ball.
